I was craving a big pot of Chili for the Steeler game Sunday, and this is what I threw together. I used what I had in the pantry. I like sweet & spicy and this fit the bill. You won't be asking...WHERES THE BEEF?... as It's loaded with meat and just the right amount of beans and sauce. We like spicy, but if you like a little less heat, just cut the spice amounts down. Simple ingredients, lots of flavor! I hope you try this tasty chili sometime.
